  • Intelligent Design with Chromogenic Materials
    Journal of the International Colour Association (2014): 13, 54-66 Ferrara & Bengisu Intelligent design with chromogenic materials Marinella Ferrara1 and Murat Bengisu2 1Design Department, Politecnico di Milano, Italy 2Department of Industrial Design, Izmir University of Economics, Turkey Emails: [email protected]; [email protected] This paper introduces the new qualitative dimensions that smart materials bring in industrial and product design with the aim of stimulating designers to take a more proactive attitude in the choice and application of these materials. Chromogenic materials enable designers to make visible, by emitting colour signals, what is happening under certain environmental conditions, normally invisible to our eyes. This allows the increase of comfort and safety of the designed environment. The possibility to create kinetic elements and dynamic products that change their expression over time allows design to contribute to a pleasant user-product interaction. Received 2 July 2014; accepted 24 July 2014 Published online: 8 December 2014 Introduction Various reports on key technologies for the near future address the critical role that will be played by smart materials. Smart materials and systems are expected to play a key role in the improvement of quality of life, productivity, economic welfare, and sustainability. The implementation of smart materials is usually intertwined with other critical technologies such as nanotechnology, new manufacturing processes, microelectronics, robotics, and biotechnology [1-3]. Many smart material solutions have already been commercialised successfully. Self-cleaning textiles, self-healing components for construction, smart drug delivery, and smart windows are some examples [2,4]. 54 http://www.aic-colour-journal.org/ ISSN 2227-1309 Journal of the International Colour Association (2014): 13, 54-66 Ferrara & Bengisu At the current moment of promising smart material applications, it is necessary to prevent the trivialisation of this radical innovation.

The judges had not counted a scoring shot. Following her appeal, however, video replays led to the decision being reversed and she went on to win a Bronze Medal.

Highest governing body International Tennis Federation First played 19th century (U.K.) Characteristics Contact No Team members Single or doubles Categorization Racquet sport Equipment Tennis ball, tennis racquet Olympic 1896-1924, 1988-present Tennis is a sport usually played between two players (singles) or between two teams of two players each (doubles). Each player uses a racket that is strung to strike a hollow rubber ball covered with felt over a net into the opponent's court. The modern game of tennis originated in the United Kingdom in the late 19th century as "lawn tennis" which has close connections to various field/lawn games as well as to the ancient game of real tennis. Until then, "tennis" referred to the latter sport: for example, in Disraeli's novel Sybil (1845), Lord Eugene De Vere announces that he will "go down to Hampton Court and play tennis. As it is the Derby [classic horse race], nobody will be there".[1] After its creation, lawn tennis spread throughout the upper-class English-speaking population before spreading around the world.[2] Tennis is an Olympic sport and is played at all levels of society at all ages. The sport can be played by anyone who can hold a racket, including people in wheelchairs. The rules of tennis have not changed much since the 1890s.
